This new root method for Android 4.4.2 KitKat is so powerful and easy that is not even needed to use a pc, everything can be done from your phone. I will provide the application links for towelroot and supersu in case you have any problems with the internet connection on your phone, or maybe for persons that root a lot of phones daily maybe be easier just to transfer the files.
This method was tested and works on Galaxy S5 G900A G900T G900N G900W8 G900R, Note 3 N900a N900t, Galaxy S4 i337 i337M I537, Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, Sony Z1 Compact and a lot others. This root method functionality depends on your kernel version so may happen for same phone model in one case to work, but in other not to work if has a newer kernel version.
Anyway is no danger for your phone to try and root with this method, not a single case of devices to have problems only because trying to root using this method.

I made fewer steps for the method to root from the computer, as you can read the details in the first part, but that does not make it easier, in fact, most people consider easier to use the method and root using towel rood directly from your Android device.
